Going the extra (Cupcake) Mile for grieving children by Julia Le Oakville Beaver Staff 15 | Thursday, October 22, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com halton.ca 311 PUBLIC INFORMATION CENTRE Wastewater Trunk Sewer on Trafalgar Road from Lawson Street to Sixteen Mile Creek Bridge, and Watermain Replacement on Trafalgar Road from 100m north of Lawson Street to Freestone Lane, Town of Oakville PR-2798 Halton Region is proposing to replace the trunk wastewater main on the following streets: · Trafalgar Road from Lawson Street to Dunn Street · Dunn Street from Trafalgar Road for Randall Street · Randall Street from Dunn Street to Forsythe Street The project will also include the rehabilitation of the 150mm watermain on Trafalgar Road from 100m North of Lawson Street to Freestone Lane. A Public Information Centre will be held to provide residents with an opportunity to review the project drawings and to discuss any potential construction disruptions that may result from the proposed works. Representatives from Halton Region and Cole Engineering Ltd. will be in attendance to answer any questions. The Public Information Centre is scheduled for: Cupcake Mile goes a little something like this: Run a quarter mile, eat a cupcake. Repeat three times, then celebrate. About 125 people have signed up to participate in the unique challenge taking place in downtown Oakville this Saturday (Oct. 24) beginning at 1 p.m. Black Forest Pastry Shop owner John Ziemba says the idea was dreamed up as a way to bring people together for fun and in support of a cause. He's asking for donations to help Oakville's Lighthouse Program for Grieving Children. Noting the support group will be moving at the end of the month to Bronte, he said he's hoping the money raised will help the organization with renovations to the new property. Ziemba said there will be eight waves of up to 15 people taking part in Cupcake Mile, which takes runners along Lakeshore Road, Thomas Street and then Robinson Street before cutting through Towne Square to his storefront at 184 Lakeshore Rd. E. There will also be a shorter cookie dash John Ziemba challenge for children 10 years old and younger. "I'm a runner myself and a lot of my friends are runners and we just thought, I'm a baker too and the two things go hand-in-hand," he said. "It would be a fun event to bring people together." Spectators are welcome. For more information, visit blackforestpastryshop.ca.
